Phil Kline
[edit]- Regarding your edit to planned parenthood, here's the source [1] which I quote (emphasis added), "Phill Kline, a strongly antiabortion Republican defeated by Morrison in November, started the criminal inquiry against two Kansas abortion clinics on grounds that doctors may have conducted illegal late-term abortions and failed to report cases involving underage girls who, by statute, could have been considered victims of rape." It's in a reliable source in the context of his efforts here. If the source felt it was relevant, so can we. No NPOV violation.Mattnad (talk) 14:53, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
The way it is written makes it seem like he already had it out for the clinic from the start. Especially as your edit had already been reverted once before, I think it best, in the interest of a more nuanced and neutral article to leave them out.
- That's your interpretation, but as a matter of wikipidia policy, if a reliable source makes a connection, then it's not an NPOV violation. At any rate, the GOP position on Abortion is well documented and clearly the Washington Post found it relevant to mention.Mattnad (talk) 16:51, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

[edit]
Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Anti-abortion movements, without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. –Davey2010Talk 21:44, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- My bad the above should've been a page-move warning, Anyway there was no consensus in regards to Anti-abortion movements being moved so if you want it moved you'll have to request a move at the talkpage, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:48, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- Just a bit of history here - quite a few years ago there was a very long and drawn-out discussion about how we name abortion movements on Wikipedia. One side wanted to use "pro-life" and "pro-abortion" (or "abortion rights") for the two camps, whereas the other wanted to use "anti-abortion" and "pro-choice". The agreement that was eventually reached ws (inevitably) a compromise - it was decided that we would use "anti-abortion" and "abortion rights" for the two sides. Hence the result you see on many articles. If you think about it, it's also logical - "pro-life" and "pro-choice" can both be seen as pejorative. Please don't change articles away from the two uses given. Thanks. Black Kite (talk) 22:09, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- No, I did not know the history behind it. It seemed biased but how you explained it makes sense, and is certainly reasonable. Next time I'll try my best to avoid a mistake like this. My apologies and thank you for clearing it up. 1517today (talk) 19:25, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Recent message
[edit]Thank you for your recent message! The edits to which you refer must have been a while back. I have not added WCC to any 'membership' columns although, of course, that could and should be included in a historical way w/in another appropriate part of an article. Again, I cannot recall using WCC in the info box for some time and I definitely don't remember using WCC for the Mainline Protestant denominations article. As for adherents, different countries, especially in Europe but also in Canada, determine affiliation using criteria that may be at variance with one denomination or another. In denominations where adherents are counted, as is the case for many historic European denominations, I would suggest that, at the very least, space be included to mention that. I would also suggest that the edit summary be used. I have been informed that it is supposed to be used to explain the edits. Again, thanks for the message, the conversation, and the help.SeminarianJohn (talk) 04:25, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. Yes, WCC membership numbers are certainly a valid historical source, I hope you did not understand me as saying that. However, as I had previously mentioned, they are fairly outdated. Therefore, I would recommend that they not go at the top of the article or in the info box, but rather in the membership section found further down in the various articles. I understand the affiliate/membership dilemna, again I would suggest putting that in the membership section in the article itself, as opposed to the intro or info box. You are right that I should use edit summaries more, my apologies. Thanks for the conversation! 1517today (talk) 00:48, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
Agreed on WCC statistics. I had used them awhile back, but then I had discovered they are generally outdated now. I have to apologize myself and make a correction. I did add them to the Mainline Protestant article for the historically African American denominations. I could not find any other source for those. If you find an updated credible source, please add it. I will search as well, but two is more than one. I agree with you on fixing the info boxes. Personally, I am glad that someone else has taken an interest in updating pages for denominations. There are so many, and they get left behind. I have found some that had information going way back! Again, thanks! Let's keep working together on those.SeminarianJohn (talk) 05:10, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
Statistics for black churches are generally very hard to come by, if I find some I will definitely update. Yes it is too much for one person, many hands make light work Thank you very much! 1517today (talk) 22:22, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
Anglican Church of Canada
[edit]I would recommend adding something in the 'talk' to discuss some of the statistics you had removed. I have started a section so we can see what we find. Many of those valid sources were cited by several editors/users. The government statistics, and the ACoC official site, state that it is the third largest denomination in Canada after the Catholic Church and the United Church. If you disagree with that, I would only recommend discussing it in 'Talk' first as that has been established as true in the past by valid sources and multiple users. I also know, from other conversations and reading, that removing well-sourced material is not customary on Wikipedia especially if that information is well supported and documented. Regarding the info box, I edited it to include members and adherents as separate.SeminarianJohn (talk) 04:33, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
You are right, I should have sourced better. I will see if I can find my source again saying that those numbers are outdated and with replacement numbers. In the info box, I currently only see adherents and not members.1517today (talk) 00:51, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
Thanks! As I said above, I totally agree for the changes made to Mainline Protestant article. Thanks for those changes. If more of us users look for updated information, we'll be much better resourced.

Project News
By Lionelt
Last month's auspicious relaunch of our newsletter precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. Their ruling resulted in the admonishment of administrator Future Perfect at Sunrise for his involvement in the dispute. The story was reported by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper The Signpost.
The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the protracted discussion. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original Christianity Portal was created on November 5, 2005 by Brisvegas and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. The Transhumanist has revived WikiProject Portals with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

Operation Auca was an attempt by five Evangelical Christian missionaries from the United States to make contact with the Huaorani people of the rainforest of Ecuador. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the first Protestants to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on January 2, 1956, the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", a sandbar along the Curaray River, a few miles from Huaorani settlements. Their efforts culminated on January 8, 1956, when all five—Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian—were attacked and speared by a group of Huaorani warriors. The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and Life magazine covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film production End of the Spear. (more...)

The Mortara case was a controversy precipitated by the Papal States' seizure of Edgardo Mortara, a six-year-old Jewish child, from his family in Bologna, Italy, in 1858. The city's inquisitor, Father Pier Feletti, heard from a servant that she had administered emergency baptism to the boy when he fell sick as an infant, and the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition held that this made the child irrevocably a Catholic. Because the Papal States had forbidden the raising of Christians by members of other faiths, it was ordered that he be taken from his family and brought up by the Church. After visits from the child's father, international protests mounted, but Pope Pius IX would not be moved. The boy grew up as a Catholic with the Pope as a substitute father, trained for the priesthood in Rome until 1870, and was ordained in France three years later. In 1870 the Kingdom of Italy captured Rome during the unification of Italy, ending the pontifical state; opposition across Italy, Europe and the United States over Mortara's treatment may have contributed to its downfall.

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events. Predictions of apocalyptic events that would result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been made since at least the beginning of the Christian Era. Most predictions are related to Abrahamic religions, often standing for or similar to the eschatological events described in their scriptures. Christian predictions typically refer to events like the Rapture, Great Tribulation, Last Judgment, and the Second Coming of Christ.
Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime, with percentages raging from 6% of people in France to 22% in the US and Turkey. In the UK in 2015, the general public believed the likeliest cause would be nuclear war, while experts thought it would be artificial intelligence. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by zombies or alien invasion. (more...)

When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy, an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them.
The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly unchaste or sexually abused individuals.

"A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by avant garde artist Edward McKnight Kauffer. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the Nunc dimittis, a liturgical prayer for Compline from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers Lancelot Andrewes, Dante Alighieri and St. John of the Cross. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of anti-Semitism on Eliot's part.
